Review of 'The Amulet of Samarkand'

'The Amulet of Samarkand' is the first book in the series of Bartimaeus. It is an adventurous 480 pages written by Jonathan Stroud.

     It is about a young magician's apprentice,Nathaniel,who secretly summons a very powerful djinni to do his bidding.To the djinni's surprise the boy does not charge him to do any minor thing but to bring the Amulet of Samarkand.It all is meant as a prank but when things start to get serious they understand that the amulet is a dangerous thing,which has them caught in a web of lies,rebellion and murder.Can they get out of this major trouble?

     This book is an awesome book full of adventure and killing.I would recommend this book to all boys and girls aged 10+.I loved this book and I hope you do too.
